Spots!!!!!!

I get them on my back, not super aggressive but annoying nonetheless.

I've never had it on my face so for the most part i've just avoided taking off my shirt in public places. However, lately I've decided to really try to counter the problem head on and have started applying BP daily as well as washing my back in the shower with Head and Shoulders.

BP is annoying as it bleaches your clothes but I'm 22 now bored of having bacne I have a good body and feel the urge to prance around topless now and again. They have inhibited my lifestyle, but I have been way to sensitive about it.

I've spent more than a decade trying to deal with oily skin and spots. I've used different soaps, cleansers, toners, moisturisers and in varying amounts. At the moment I have a regime that keeps them down to a less embarrassing level but I still get plenty of spots even though I'm 23. It's frustrating.

I understand the suffering I went and still sometimes am going through the same thing, honestly get yourself to LUSH and get the above three products to give them a try, if you haven't already. Links for you to read up first if you haven't already. It worked for me it might or might not work for you but no harm in trying

If you are very oily like me I used oil absorbing sheets, you can get these from superdrug or bodyshop, just to keep the sebum (oil) undercontrol so it does clag any muck from air to the skin.

Just be careful you don't overdo the clean routine too because it can cause more harm than good if you use something too harsh or change you routine drastically, keep the mitts off the face I have outbreaks bigtime on me chin and it was cause I use lean on me desk with chin resting in hand
 
Arite guys, I know this thread had sunk to the depth of page whatever but I posted on here on the 12th September about demanding to see a dermatologist, well I finally got an appointment (after ringing up twice) and then got my blood tests done etc. had to wait another couple of weeks or so and I finally got my box of roaccutane yesterday.

I'm moving to China in February so he agreed to start me out quite aggressively and bump me to a higher dose quicker than normal. He told my spots are hardly that bad but its just the persistance and reluctance to topicals etc that has allowed me to go on Isotretinoin (Roaccutane is a brand).

Its not a day too soon though in my opinion, I'm not happy I had to wait this long to get them to be honest but he said that given the severity (or lack of) it shouldn't take long for them to work.

I have so far taken 2 doses yesterday and today and I can already feel my lips drying out, I saw on acne.org a lip balm specifically for accutane takers, I had to buy it from America on eBay but it was only like 6.99 for 3 tubes delivered.

I am useless at keeping track of breakouts etc. with me its always just been like a "when did my hair go grey" (its not its an expression) sort of gradual change but I must say I feel like I've had a breakout the past couple of weeks, I realise I'm probably gonna get another one over the next few days/weeks but I couldn't care less, I'm sick to death of getting ID'd for stuff, thinking I can't go talk to girls or not goin to the gym because I can't take my top off in public.

I just wanna add that I used to have about 6 spots on my back on a bad day then I got my friend to wax it with a homewaxing kit and literally about 4 days later my back looked like the plague, I found out later that you're sposed to disinfect it immediately after (Lois always does it to Hal on MITM, I only realised that the other day) and I didn't. That was over 6 months ago and my back is still terrible.

I dont care whatsoever about the risk of any of the side effects, I'm sick to death of this, acne is sposed to be summat that bothers you from the ages of 13 to 16 and then disappears, I'm 23 and mine is worse than ever. I've put weight on from not exercising, lost confidence from no sex in ages (I'm talking dry) and countless other problems probably not caused by spots but I'm attributing to anyway.

I'm sorry for the long post, I'll try and keep my progress updated.

Here's to a life with skin softer than a baby's arse.
 
i think you need to put things into perspective and get a grip. i'm 30 and still get spots and know people older than me who do too. i personally am not bothered if i or any other people have spots, it's not there fault most of the time, i'd also be very sceptical about any treatments. there's far more important things in life.

maybe so but if there is one thing in your life that is stopping you (or at least hindering) from even attempting those things than why is a bad thing to try and get it sorted?
 
Recently I decided I should prob. try tone down the amount of spots on my face and read that I shouldnt be popping them :o, that's prob. where I've been going wrong and the number of spots has spread in a few areas around my mouth.

Any good products at chemist for getting rid of spots?
Currently I use clearasil ultra which is semi-working, if there's anything better I'd be interested to know though.
 
I hope it works out for you, I also have bad spots and blackheads, not massive or anything just lots of little ones and generally really bad skin.

I am 24 and getting fed up also. I have started making sure I wash my face twice a day at least as I am pretty bad at keeping a routine. My problem is that my skin and hair will be greasy within a few hours of showering. It is even worse at night, I wake up in the morning and people think my hair is wet if I don't have a shower because it is that greasy. :(

and yes it is serious and it does affect even the most confident person, try chatting up a gorgeous woman with a big spot on your nose and blackheads everywhere, I like to think I am quite handsome and don't get offended easily but when I look at my skin close up even I feel ill.

i have had spots for like 3 years.. started at 15, 19 in a few days.. i dont have a big problem with them... only that i have no confidence at all.. and when they clear up... i feel like a new person.. its really a strange thing as im not caring much about things as long as they are normal and this is.. but i cant be confident at all.. now i dont always have spots.. they clear up.. stay clean skin for 2-4 days and then the next morning 4 or so spots show up.. i guess its my age.. well i hope it will end :) i feel for some people who are in their mid 20's and still have them..

How can a 24 year old suddenly have a mild outbreak of acne????? I have being 100% spot free through my teenage years but now seem to be getting a lot of spots on my forehead :( :(


Just a bit of a rant as it knocks you self confidence somewhat, any tips on how to get rid or reduce spots like some sort of acne cream ect?

First thing, drink water and plenty of it, at thee very least one litre per day - preferably 1.5 litres. (away from meals ideally - better for digestion.)

loving the anabolic shakes.
what else are you taking that the 'guys at the gym recommend'? be honest...

Anabolic protein, lol.

If you are taking Test, D-bol or Decca then you are most probably getting spots from taking these things, and I would be very worried for you if you were taking anabolic steroids without knowing what side effects could occur.

I am guessing you have just fallen foul of supplement marketing, by chance are you taking Pre workout NO-Xplode?
